2. add in onions, cayenne pepper and 1 teaspoon sugar; cook stirring until the onions are well browned, this should take about 15 minutes (adding in the garlic the last 2 minutes of cooking) remove to a bowl and set aside.
3. To the same skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat; add in buckwheat and egg; stir constantly until until the buckwheat is well toasted (this might take about 8-10 minutes).
4. Slowly add in hot broth or boiled water, mix with a spoon, then cover and simmer over low heat until all the broth is absorbed (about 10-15 minutes).
5. Return the onion/garlic mixture back to the skillet; mix to combine with the buckwheat.
6. Add in black pepper and season with salt.
7. Mix in the cooked bow-tie pasta.
